Oh ashes to ashes
your dust into dust
Telling yourself that you do what you must
Oh anything to keep your kingdom's trust
monarch eternal
as we slowly rust
How much is too much
just what is the cost
To keep up this faded and cursed Omelas
We lived
and we died
so that you could pause time
We hope you enjoyed your last subject's applause
One two three
you need sacrifice to seal
your damned demons away
Cause pain and death it's fine
as lone as this kingdom's mine
live to see just one more day
Please just one more try
I've got it this time
Cause there's no cost too great
Think of the future
Think of the past
Do you remember
Do you regret
Think of your children
think of your men
Someday you'll have to
pay up your debt
Try to forget us
We dare you to try
cause we will remind you
this isn't goodbye
Look to the future
look to the past
Do you remember
your graveyard
Silently slowly
we keep up the fight
Given some time
we just might set things right
We try
and we try
to climb up to the light
With corpses beneath you
do you sleep at night
Way up above
lies your chosen 'pure' knight
The only one spared was the one with no mind
For you
for your heart
for your love
did they lie
Pretend all is fine as their mind rots inside
One two three
you need sacrifice
to keep your damned demons away
Cause pain and death it's fine
as long as this kingdom's mine
live to see just one more day
Please just one more try
I've got it this time
Cause there's no cost too great
Think of the future
think of the past
Do you remember
Do you regret
Think of your children
think of your men
Someday you'll have to
pay up your debt
Try to forget us
We dare you to try
cause we will remind you
this isn't goodbye
Think of the future
think of the past
Do you remember
your graveyard
Our voices will cry out again
